Kirtipur Municipality Mayor Rajkumar Nakarmi has passed away. He was 61.
Nakarmi breathed his last while undergoing treatment at the Bir Hospital in Kathmandu at 10:30 pm on Thursday, said Deputy Mayor Subha Laxmi Shakya.
The mayor had long been battling with kidney-related problems.
“He had been undergoing dialysis for a long time. His condition had worsened in the past month,” said Shakya.
Nakarmi’s body will be kept at the Kirtipur Municipality office premises from 9am to 11am for final tributes.
Nakarmi, a Nepali Congress candidate, was elected as the mayor of Kirtipur after winning the May 2022 local level polls. He is also the vice president of the party’s Kathmandu district committee.
